I am posting two days together. I completed my ten things yesterday and also today. I have 16 days left until I reach 100!! Yesterday our power kept going out so I did most of my ten things by candle light Fortunately I was able to get some of them done before. When the power went out the first time I was not sure how I would get the rest of my ten things done , but then it occurred to me that electrical outlets have not always existed and people where able to function before, so I completed the rest of my ten things yesterday by candle light.
Our power did not come back on yesterday until about 10:15 last night and I was too tired to write my blog after sitting in the candlelight for so long. I felt very drowsy.After I finished my ten things yesterday Ken heated water on the barbecue so we could have hot peach tea while we sat in the living room with lots of candles burning playing apples to apples with our kids. It was a lot of fun. One of my favorite board games is the farming game. My parents had the game when we were kids and I always enjoyed it.
About seventeen years ago when I was heading out to Lake Alta with the kids to stay in a cabin for the weekend and go fishing I stopped at a barn sale along the way so we could get out of the car and stretch our legs. Right there on a table when I walked in the barn was the farming game for $2.00 it was like brand new.I was very excited. I still have it but it is getting a little beat up. The game came out again not too long ago. It is the same just in a different box. My parents bought it for us so now I have one in great shape to last me another 17 years :)
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. PSALMS 143:8
